Hisie – Mist (Elvish)
Chapter Five
Tio wasn’t sure how long he lay curled up on his bed, allowing his tears to flow. His earlier anger had only lasted long enough to get him out of that room and into his own. The words ‘no flying’ running through his mind in an endless circle, with the words Umbridge had said in his Head’s office last year. ‘No flying…Banned from Quidditch…No flying…Banned from Quidditch.’ It was having something land on his back followed by needle like claws kneading his flesh that finally pulled him out of danger of sinking too far into these dark thoughts.
Twisting around, his hand connected with soft fur. Grabbing whatever creature had landed on him, Tio managed to pull the small silver and black cat to nestle under his chin. “Wherever did you come from?” he whispered, and receiving only a purr in response, he allowed the sound to soothe both mind and soul as he drifted into sleep.
~tink~
The soft sound barely made its way into his conscious mind.
~tink~
Grumbling, he pulled the pillow over his head.
~tink~
{…grrr…grumble…grrr…snarl...}
~tink~
The repetitive sound, soft as it was, quickly became annoying, forcing Tio to wake up completely and search out the sound.
~tink~
Focusing in on where the sound came from, Tio made his way to the window, opening it slowly. Stepping back when a dark form entered his view, Tio had his wand up with the business end pressed firmly under the chin of whoever it was that just entered his room.
“I told you Mik, didn’t I? You can’t just go into someone’s room uninvited, and expect a warm welcome.” Yeo laughed, as he entered the room behind his best friend.
“True, but I didn’t expect him to be that fast with his wand,” Mikal groaned, keeping one eye on Tio, even as he tried to glare at Yeo.
Tio slowly lowered his wand, once he realized who had just invaded his room. “What are you doing here, and why did you use the window?” he asked softly.
“Well Little Bit, when Tony said you locked him and Cal out, we decided that we would give you until lunch to come out on your own, and then we would come and get you,” Mikal stated.
“And since knocking on your door is not possible, we had to find an alternative method of entry. These Wizards keep forgetting that doing things Muggle is just different, not wrong.” Yeo added.
“You do realize that you just insulted two wizards in the immediate vicinity?” Mikal asked Yeo.
“Yes, but you seem to have forgotten that Tio here was raised in the Muggle world,” Yeo replied with a smug smile.
“Um…Still here,” Tio had to interrupt, almost feeling that he was dealing with the Weasley Twins. “And why couldn’t you knock?”
“Being Muggle and all, I cannot even pretend to know how this shit works,” Yeo drawled, clearly ignoring the snort of disbelief from Mikal, “but I’m gonna assume that you heard someone following behind you and calling out for you, and you basically wished that they would shut up and leave you alone.” With a quick grin at Tio, Yeo staged whispered, “The wards around your room heard your wish and made it happen.”
“What?!”
Mikal had to laugh at Tio’s confused look. “Yeo knows about as much as I do about magic, he’s constantly reading everything he can find,” he explained.
“Ravenclaw,” Tio muttered under his breath. “Alright, I can understand that. But would one of you please explain how I managed to lock and silence the door with wards I know I didn’t cast, and without a wand?”
Mikal smiled softly, despite the frustration and slight bit of anger he could see in Tio’s eyes. “Stephen could explain it much better if you wanted a long drawn-out explanation, but the bare facts of the matter are actually fairly simple. Not only is the Manor warded, but each individual room as well. These wards are still subject to the Boss Man, but only in an extreme emergency, otherwise they only answer to one person; the master of that room. You wanted to be left alone and the Wards, which are now keyed permanently to you, made it happen.”
Tio sat down on the bed, automatically petting the soft fur that somehow materialized under his hand. ‘I have my own room! Permanently!’ he thought, the idea repeating over and over in his mind.
Mikal and Yeo shared a sad look, both knowing why Tio sat there with a stunned look on his face. A place of his own, that would always be there, was even to the two of them a miracle, and they knew that this was only the first step in a long road of healing. Knowing that he needed to distract Tio, Mikal laughed softly, satisfied with himself when green eyes came up to met his own. “It looks like Hisie has already claimed you” he stated softly, nodding at the cat demanding Tio’s attention. “She only tolerates us mere mortals, but it looks like you now belong to her.”
“Hisie?” Tio questioned.
“It’s Elven for Mist.” Yeo supplied.
“She’s beautiful,” Harry replied, scratching behind silver ears lined in black. “What kind is she?”
“We believe that she is the Magical variety of Bengal Cat. She looks just like a kitten, Uncle Sev says she been here since his mother was a child. Rumor has it that she’s been here much longer than that.”
Tio whistled softly under his breath, moving his fingers under Hisie’s chin, causing her to close her eyes in delight, only to open slightly seconds later and look with his own. Tio watched in fascination as her eyes, previously blue, turned to a green that matched his own. “Oh wow. Her eyes changed color.”
Yeo and Mikal leaned forward to take a look before grinning at each other. “Should we tell Uncle Sev, or do we wait for him to figure it out?” Mikal asked.
“Oh most definitely wait until he figures it out!” Yeo answered
“Alright, can the two of you please explain ‘Boss Man’ and ‘Uncle Sev’ to me?” Scratching his own head he continued. “And what exactly do you want to tell him?”
“Better yet, we’ll all explain it over lunch. Come on, time to go.”
~~hp~~
Yeo, Mikal and Tio kept laughing every time they looked over at Cal. When they had first exited the room, the look on Cal’s face at seeing three people leave when only one person was suppose to be in there was priceless. Tio had looked the older wizard over, then glanced over Yeo and Mikal, muttering over how blind some wizards could be when it came to Muggle methods. That had started the laughing, and now Tio just couldn’t stop.
Upon entering the clearing however, and seeing Snape, Rosa and Tony talking to each other quietly, the laughter stopped abruptly. Seeing Tony and Snape standing close together, both with a single eyebrow raised, made Tio take a double take, and he started searching for other physical characteristics that were similar. Shaking his head, he looked at Mikal the question he really wanted answered in his eyes.
“I told you, Little Bit, that we would answer your questions after we eat,.” he stated calmly.
“Mikal, please,” Tio whispered, desperation coloring his voice.
Sighing softly, Mikal slowly placed an arm around Tio’s shoulders. “Yes. Second cousins or something like that, though Tony calls him Uncle. It’s actually the reason we all call him Uncle.”
“I see.”
“No, not really. At the moment, you are seeing in black and white. Let’s eat, and then we’ll see about convincing you to see in shades of grey,” Yeo commented.
“Ya, that would be a good idea, considering that Stephen looks about ready to explode, and that wouldn’t be a good idea,” Mikal added
“Oh?” Tio questioned.
“Later.” Yeo placed an arm around Tio from the other side, the two of them steering the young man away from the adults, and over to where the rest of their group of friends sat eating in the shade.
“Boys?” Rosa called, walking up from behind, and trying to place a hand on Tio’s arm.
“Don’t touch me!” Tio hissed, his eyes narrowing in anger.
“Tio, you must understand, this is for the…”
“Greater Good,” Tio finished, shaking off the restraining hands. “Now where have I heard that one before?” he added, tapping a finger to his chin in thought. “Oh wait, by every adult who figured they could control my life. Well guess what, it’s not going to happen this time. The only reason I’m listening to you on this matter is because you are a Healer, but let me assure you Madam, that if I had my way, I would be asking for a second opinion.” Taking a step away from Rosa, Tio closed his eyes, and took a few deep breaths. “Do not try to say what I can and cannot do. You are not my mother, nor are you my guardian. Please keep your recommendations on a medical basis, and pass them on through the proper channels. Thank you.”
